"As for UML, I think it has a place, but the code should be generating UML rather than UML generating code IMO."

While on the topic of paradigm shifts I believe we should see ourselves as working in the person-to-person communication business rather than as writers of computer code. Given a problem, our job is to describe how to solve it in a 'formal' way that just happens to be a programming language. The fact that the code runs should be treated as almost incidental and is just a way of validating that our description is correct. That's because, for any non-trivial project, we are writing code that must be read and understood by other, human, coders and the better we target the coders as the audience the more chance our overall system code has of working correctly.
